Encounter with X6969

Cold. Cold and Numb, that is what Mathiz felt as she slowly stirred from her long slumber. She hated cryosleep, but it was better than the alternative. Sure she was a P'Twilk, sure she could use that small trick they had to extend their lives but honestly what was the point? It had been something that she had told herself many times over. Sure she could bum about the ship for six months to a year, and unlike the rest of the crew, it would hardly matter to her. However, it would be just so boring. Nothing to do but burn out a selection of movie tapes, and play endless chess games against the ship's AI? Keep herself fit with the little amount of gym equipment? She was sure that after the first few days, she would go mad with only the ship's AI to keep her company.

Food and life support were also an issue, well the food for her at least. Hauler crews didn't exactly get the best food offerings from the company. That paste that was supposedly porridge? Bacon that tasted like cardboard flakes? Bargain crisp cereal that she swore was excess paint chipping. Sure some of the flavoured water wasn't bad, and the crew that could drink, unlike her, did sneak on board some beer, but the coffee? Motor oil tasted better. As for the life support, running it for one person was possible for the duration of their voyages, but it still cost the company to run. However, unlike the food, she wasn't going to complain about them skimping on that, as given everything else, the freezers were a better option.

Her cryo-bed hissed and the top slowly opened, cold mist poured from the sides and she slowly opened her eyes.

“No, Like shit hun." She murmured as she stirred. It was the first thing she always said to her husband Teawelk, he was normally always awake before her, and always greeted her with his big dumb green face. As she started to open her eyes and things started to unblur, she began to realise

that something was wrong.

There was no Big dumb green face.

There wasn't a reply of “Don't worry next time it's a warm bed next to me hunnie."

There wasn't a kiss on her still-cold cheek.

“Errr… Teawelk?" She said slowly rising out of the cryobed as her eyes came back into focus. She squinted and looked over the cryo room. The other three beds were already open, and besides the swishing of the fan and bleeping of the electronics, it was empty and quiet. She was all alone.

“Seriously guys?" She said in a groggy fashion as she slid her naked legs over the side of the cyrobed, and slapped the side of her still cold face. A thing she did to prove to herself that indeed she was still alive after such a long sleep.

There could be a reason for such a wakening, but certainly, she had been woken earlier than expected. Had it been a scheduled stop then they would have all woken up at the same time. Otherwise, the ship's AI would wake any member of the crew who would've been needed at that time.

She put her paws on the towel on the floor by her cryobed. While being in little more than her camisole and undies would be fine when back in her apartment with her husband, she needed to get back into her skin-tight bodysuit to find out what was happening.

This is what she did. A warm shower and ten minutes later she padded into the galley. It was still the mess of a place they had left 6 months ago before they had entered cryo. The trays for their last meals were still on the side, as were the cans of beer her husband and the rest of the crew had before the beds were still on the table.

“Hey! Anyone about?" She called out, flicking her long silky black and white tail about in slight frustration. There wasn't a reply and she sighed.

“They might be all busy somewhere, I'll just have to check with the AI." She said going over to the coffee machine and pouring a mug of what could only charitably be called coffee, before pawing her way over to the bridge.

Mug in hand she pressed the button to enter the bridge area. It was vacant as the galley was, she was at least expecting the ship's captain, a dragon by the name of Aldin to be here at the very least. Fans whirred and terminals clicked away, the two large windows looked out into the star-filled void. This was a sign that they were still en route somewhere, and not in orbit.

“This is all a bit weird, nobody home?" She said walking over to her console and slumping into the control chair flopping her tail to one side. She took a sip of her coffee and scrunched up her face as she was reminded of the taste before she placed it on her console desk.

“Ok, AI you better do some talking and fill me in on just what the heck is going on." She said wiping her mouth with her paw, before quickly typing in some commands on the heavy keyboard.

“Hello AI, what is the situation?" she typed in.

HELLO SCIENCE OFFICER MATHIZ.

SITUATION: DIVERTED FROM COURSE, CURRENT STATUS: YELLOW.

CURRENT COORDINATES, X 11993344 Y 5667799

THREE MONTHS TO DESTINATION.

Mathiz looked at the screen. “Status yellow?" she muttered to herself. That was either a critical malfunction that required the crew's attention but wasn't threatening the ship, or there was missing personnel. She sat back picked up the coffee again and took another sip before typing her next response.

“AI what is the reason for the status yellow?" was her typed response.

STATUS YELLOW,

ONE OR MORE CRITICAL CREW MEMBERS MISSING OR FAILED TO CHECK IN.

CURRENT CREW STATUS.

CAPTIAN: ALDIN, DRAGON, M, 40 = FAILED TO CHECK IN 48 HOURS. NOT IN CRYO

ENGINEER: TEAWELK, LORTAX, M, 30 = FAILED TO CHECK IN 24 HOURS. NOT IN CRYO

SCIENCE OFFICER: MATHIZ, P'TWILK, F, 31 = CURRENT LOCATION BRIDGE.

A cold shiver went down Mathiz spine, and her purple and cream fur stood on end. Her heart started to beat a little faster. Not only were Captain Aldin and XO: Jenna missing, but her husband as well. She forgot about the horrid excuse that was her coffee for a second and leaned forward. She quickly hammered in the next inquiry.

“AI please give the log entries of events of the last 100 hours." she punched in giving extra time to cover the events outside of when people stopped reporting.

OK SCIENCE OFFICER MATHIZ

Mathiz's blood suddenly ran cold, and she shook a little learning these turn of events in such a cold way. Her fingers trembled across the keyboard. The AI had at least said that they weren't dead. It would have said that they were dead. This was 'missing through failure to respond' calls. After all the company had implanted them all with a PTD, a personal tracking device. These couldn't act as a communicator, however, they did relay life signs back to the AI, and they could give a rough location of where everyone was.

“Stupid AI it can't ring the PTDs!" She cursed as she typed “AI ring all PTDs" as a command.

OK, RINGING PTD UNITS…

Mathiz sat back for a second as the computer sent out the command, and she then felt a slight buzz as her own PTD was rung. Knowing that the command was successful she leaned forward to see the results as they came on the screen

PTD RING SUCCESSFUL

CAPTAIN ALDIN, PTD RING SUCCESS! LOCATION: ENGINE ROOM

XO JENNA, PTD RING SUCCESS! LOCATION: ENGINE ROOM

ENGINEER TEAWELK, PTD RING SUCCESS! LOCATION: ENGINE ROOM

SCIENCE OFFICER MATHIZ, PTD RING SUCCESS! LOCATION: BRIDGE

Well, they were no longer missing, however they were all in the same place. The engine room. Why had they all gone there and nowhere else, and not a place more comfortable? Sure the galley was about the only thing that resembled a living space on this tub, but it had to be more comfortable and there was food and water. Why spend the best part of 72 hours in the engine room? It didn't make sense. What had the captain brought aboard? Why had it triggered a biohazard warning? What did that have to do with the crew not checking in and having a convention in the Engine room?

“Display PTD locations on the ships schematic," she typed in.

OK, DISPLAYING PTD LOCATIONS

The screen flickered and the ship map was overlaid on her screen. She saw blinking dots of the PTD locations. Hers was on the bridge where her terminal was, all three of the others were at the back of the engine room, also all blinking away. Oddly they were all clustered extremely closely together. Well, she now knew where they were, and that she knew that they were still alive. However, she wasn't going to get them out of whatever predicament they were in by sitting on her tail.

Mathiz slid out of the chair to her console to walk over to an equipment cabinet on the wall. pulling the latch she threw it open. Inside were several tools, but it was a moderately sized box-like device that she pulled off a rack by its handle. On its side read “Motion tracker MK.3". It had a carry strap that she put over her shoulder. She pushed a top cover up on the top of the unit that also acted as its screen, and turned it on. It took a second to boot and started to tick away. Satisfied she then hit another switch so it could see and locate the PTDs on top of any movement. Engineering was a bit of a warren at the best of times, and this could at least help her zero in on her fellow crew members. Satisfied that it was working she made her way over to the galley and then took a left to a door for the service corridor.

She could feel a small sense of anxiety now as she reached for the button on the service corridor door. After all, this was all a bit strange, and it had now hit her that her husband had gone looking for the other crew members as she was now only 24 hours ago, only to join them in whatever situation they found themselves in. Also, he hadn't taken the motion tracker, but she figured that he might have had a spare in engineering, and would have used that rather than the one on the bridge.

She breathed in and pressed the button, there was a whir and a hiss as it slid open. What she saw immediately shocked her. It was a torn body suit, given the orange colour she knew that it was Jenna's the ship's XO. She cautiously stepped out and waved the motion tracker about, just in case. What for she didn't know, but this seemed ominous. She knelt and examined the clothing. There was no blood, nor was there any sign of struggle. It was just that Jenna, or something else had ripped her bodysuit off and had dumped it in the middle of the service way.

What had happened? Had it been a compulsion? Or had they been ripped off her by someone or something? Mathiz moved through the shreds until she noticed something. It was Jenna's panties, the pink rather expensive pair she liked to wear even when working on the ship. Unlike her bodysuit, they hadn't been ripped off but were neatly lying on the floor. This was curious. Mathiz looked over spotting Jenna's matching bra hanging off the side of the walkway. Mathiz picked them up and looked them over. These, unlike the panties had been ripped off, she could tell by the snapped straps and clip that had been busted in two. Mathiz gave them a curious glance and placed them with the rest of Jenna's shredded clothing.

It still made no sense, why rip her clothes off? Why get naked in a cold spacecraft? Did she do it or did someone or something else do it to her?

She had to find the rest of the crew, hopefully they wouldn't be in the same strange situation. She made her way past the medical bay and to the access door to the cargo bay. She went over to press the button to access it stopping for a second, as she remembered the warning about the biohazard. Maybe this strangeness had been caused by a gas or chemical release. Mathiz stood back and quickly went over to a basic systems terminal. She yanked down the keyboard.

“Science officer MATHIZ, remote login ********" She quickly typed in.

HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

“Status of biohazard in the cargo hold? Is it safe to enter?"

BIOHAZARD IS NO LONGER PRESENT IN THE CARGO BAY, SAFE FOR CREW ENTRY.

“OK, I'll take your word for it... Not that it means much." Mathiz muttered to herself as she went back and pressed the entry button. The door slid open with a hiss and she stepped into the cargo hold. Even with the computer saying that there wasn't a 'biohazard' in the bay she still waved the motion tracker around as a check first.

Nothing, but it was at least now starting to pick up the PTDs at its furthest extent. She sighed with a small amount of relief. She then looked around the cargo bay, it remained mostly the same as when they had departed for home. There was their ground truck, and the pod with emergency supplies if they ever found themselves grounded anywhere.

Then there was the thing that stood out, a single white-painted container with red ends. That hadn't been here when they left and must have been the cargo they had picked up. Mathiz slowly walked over to it and looked it over. She almost stepped back when she saw that it had biohazard symbols and markings that made it out to be from the Raptor Tech Corp. A rival megacorp to their own employers. Slowly she padded round the side, and that's when she noticed it. One of the end caps was off and lying on the floor.

Her heart skipped a beat, what had been in this thing? A creature, a substance maybe? How had this resulted in the strange events concerning the crew? Gingerly she stooped down and looked inside, it was dark and she could barely see anything. She shook her head a little and stretched out her arm, her antennas glowed and a ball of light emitted from her hand. Using the light to examine the interior of the container she felt a small amount of relief that it was empty. However there was something, the interior seemed somehow 'slimey'. She noticed the sides were all covered with this strange mucus that dripped around. She wished she had her science kit with her as well, she could have taken a sample to see what it was, but she still could. After all, it was just a trip back to the medical bay. She clenched her fist and ended her psionic light. That wasn't the problem right now, the issue was her crew mates, where they were and what had happened to them.

She was about to continue when she saw a similar sight to what she had found in the service corridor next to the container. A shredded body suit, Red this time, it was Captain Aldin's one. She didn't need to look for his underwear this time as she saw his white briefs to one side. Whatever had happened to Jenna had happened to Aldin as well. He was also somewhere on the ship just as naked as their XO. Then she saw it to one side of the shredded clothing. It was a data cartridge, small and yellow making it stand out. She leaned down and picked it up. She quickly looked it over and saw that it had a label. “RAPTOR TECH CORP: PROJECT X6969".

She stood there for a second. This was the key to everything. The missing crew, what was in the container, the events of the last few days! She had to find out what was on this data cartridge, but she had to find out where her other crew mates were, and where her husband was. Knowing he was still missing made her quickly realise that she must press on with finding them. She quickly looked at the scanner again. The PTDs were still showing, and they were still there sitting in the engine room. She quickly padded over to the door from the cargo bay to the reactor room, but she only took a few steps before the next sight stopped her dead in her tracks. Her heart also sank when she saw what it was.

More ripped clothing. This time grey-coloured, she also saw the pair of briefs on the floor. She always recognised that dumb red heart pattern on them.

“No!" she cried, freezing. She wanted to fall to her knees. On Seeing this, whatever this was, it had gotten both Aldin and Jenna but now her husband. She trembled when she saw that this time there was a small amount of blood on the floor. Not much just a trickle, but blood to be sure.

Lortaxians weren't by their nature violent people. They were famous galaxy-wide for their friendly and almost passive nature. However, that wasn't to say they couldn't fight if backed into a corner or if their lives depended on it.

Quickly to the left, she spotted a crowbar. It was a few feet away from the shredded clothing, she saw that there was some of the same strange mucus on the end of it. Did Teawelk at least get one good strike against his assailant?

Mathiz then also noticed something. The door, the button to open and close it had been broken, so it was shut and would stay shut. Her motion tracker still showed the PTDs were somewhere behind it, but there was no way to access it, well from here at least. She could still go back to the bridge and override the lock.

However, her mind was starting to put together the events of the last few days. It made her tremble with fear.

Aldin must have been first. He had to have investigated the 'biohazard' and the new container they had brought on board. He must have found the data cartridge but had been surprised, subdued and stripped, by whatever this was and taken to the engine room.

Jenna must have investigated when Aldin failed to respond. She had to have seen whatever it was and had fled back to the bridge. But for whatever reason she was stopped, or was caught at the door. She too must have been likewise stripped and taken away to share whatever fate had befallen Aldin.

Her Husband was woken later and had been doing the same thing she was now trying to do. Find Aldin and Jenna. He must have done the same thing she did, locate their PTDs. He had gotten into the engine room, but he must have very clearly seen whatever it was that had taken Aldin and Jenna, then ran and busted the door button behind him to seal whatever this thing was in there. It might have worked but somehow this thing had got into the cargo bay. He hadn't been surprised like Aldin, he hadn't run and been caught or run down like Jenna, and he had put up something of a fight at the very least. However it hadn't been enough, and he too was now naked and with Aldin and Jenna in the engine room.

There was still the question of the door, how did this thing, whatever it was get past the now sealed door? An air duct? No, it couldn't be, they were too small, and even she couldn't squeeze herself into them, let alone a six-foot-five Lortaxian.

She trembled as she noted something else in her mental assessment of the situation, there was something else now on the ship. Something else that had abducted her crew mates and her husband. The data cartridge had to have information on whatever this was, and if possible how to fight it.

Mathiz took two cautious steps backwards and then broke out into a full sprint back to the bridge. Any and every door that she passed through she shut behind her. It was the only thing she stopped to do until she was back on the bridge.

The bridge door shut behind her, heart pounding she quickly went back to her console and threw herself back into her chair, dumping the motion tracker next to it. Quickly she inserted the cartridge into the port and waited for a second for the light to go green to show that the AI could read it. It went green confirming a good read, and quickly she typed away.

“Could you please show the contents of the data cartridge?" She hammered in on the keyboard.

OK… READING>>> PLEASE WAIT>>>>> DONE>>>>

ONE FILE PROJECT_X6969.DAT (FILE ENCRYPTED)

“Shit!" She muttered. “Can you Decrypt file PROJECT_X6969.DAT?"

YES>>>> PLEASE WAIT>>>> ACCESSING DECRYPTION TABLES>>>>> DECRYPTING>>>

“Oh come on… come on…" She continued to mutter to herself, she was feeling tense and focused, and her anxiety started to spike. So much so she didn't notice the motion tracker and that it was now starting to beep.

FILE DECRYPTED, WOULD YOU LIKE TO OPEN IT?

“YES DAMMIT!" She muttered as she typed the simple command “YES" into her console.

RAPTOR TECH CORP,

REPORT

UNIT X6969

EXTRACT

Experimental engineered biomorph organism for non-lethal take down, and subject acquisition.

Biomorphic creature, capable of self-printing restraints and processing toxins for the non-lethal capture of personnel and their long-term storage.

It also has a psychotropic brain, capable of the psionic subjection of captives via a shared mental link, and is also useful for the extraction of information about captives.

The creature is either able to go into long-term hibernation or to feed off psionic energy for bioelectricity and the sperm (males) and milk (Females) for the collection of nutrients to both keep captives alive and power bio-matter creation.

FULL PROJECT DETAILS

Mathiz's eyes lit up reading that. So there was a thing onboard, and as she had suspected it had abducted her husband, Aldin and Jenna, and was now “harvesting" them so it could stay alive. This was some good news at least, her husband and her crewmates were at least still alive. However, she needed to know how one deactivated or could kill this thing and free its captives. Hopefully, there was more in this document on how to do that, after all, why make a weapon, even a 'non-lethal' one if you couldn't control it? Her finger poised over the scroll-down key.

While she read away she didn't notice that the motion tracker was still bleeping away, or for that matter, a door from the galley had hissed open.

“I need to know more." She muttered to herself as she hit the scroll-down key.

ACCESS DENIED!

“WHAT! THAT FILE WAS DECRYPTED!" She cried out.

FORMATTING DATA CARTRIDGE!

“What!? NO! NO! NO!" She cried out again. “What by the council is wrong with you?"

I'M SORRY YOU WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW THIS SCIENCE OFFICER MATHIZ.

X6969 IS COMING FOR YOU NOW.

It suddenly hit Mathiz. That's how it had gotten her husband! The AI was in on this, it had opened the door for the creature after he forcefully sealed it. Without a weld, the AI could still open the door as it wished. It had fed her beloved to this Beast. Now it was going to do the same to her.

Her heart raced and she grabbed the motion tracker, she took one look at the screen and her blood ran cold. There was motion just beyond the door to the galley, and it was heading in her direction. It must have heard her. She had to think quickly. She ran over and dived down behind the large console for the captain. Hopefully, she could hide and evade the Beast, maybe get to engineering and free everyone, heck even figure something out to get rid of the Beast. She slunk into a ball with the motion tracker to her side and curled her long silky tail around her. Her heart was pounding so hard now she could feel every beat.

The door hissed open and she heard three heavy footsteps on the metal floor, she closed her eyes. She didn't want to look. She heard the beast take three deep breaths of the air.

“Female, P'Twilk, age young, mid oestrus cycle. Database species knowledge, heat cycle currently suspended" she heard. The Beast could speak? It knew about P'Twilk and their abilities, or at least ones relating to their reproduction. She closed her eyes and held back a gulp. “Area In, close by, fear state heightened." The sound of the footsteps started to move in her direction.

“Shit! Shit! Shit!" She thought to herself. She had to move quickly and quietly, she knelt and slid along the side of the captain's console. Hopefully, she felt, while it was investigating her last position she could make a break for the door to the galley.

Slowly she crept to the top edge of the console where Aldin's chair was. She scrunched her eyes, braced herself, and leapt out, to freeze immediately where she stood.

“Resist not, please, stay where you are, calm remain." The Beast said as it saw her pop out of her hiding place.

Her jaw opened wide and she let out a scream. This thing was at least 7 feet tall and was lizard-like. But unlike a dragon or a Lortax like her husband, it was thin, almost skeletal. Biomechanical could be the best word to describe the Beast, its head was long and bullet-shaped, and two yellow eyes looked at her from dull orbits. It stretched out its long arms, two sets of them to fully block her path, it had three sets of fingers and a thumb on each of its four arms, all seemed long and sharp. She also noticed its tail that was long and whip-like, at its end was a large bulb-like thing, that seemed to be segmented.

She dropped the motion scanner at her feet, and it hit the floor with a heavy metallic thud.

“Stay back, I'm warning you!" She stuttered out, words somehow finally finding her lips.

“Resist, not, please," The Beast said through its toothy mouth which didn't even move.

There was only one thing Mathiz could do, it was going to hurt and it was going to take some courage. Her antenna lit up white, and she stretched her arm towards the advancing Beast.

“I warned you!" She said, her words still tinged with fear. It took another step closer, and she took action. There was a sudden intense blinding flash of light and a loud booming roar.

Mathiz opened her eyes, and she prepared to run. Her foot took only half a step forward before she took half a step back. Her heart sank, and she whimpered at what she saw.

“Anticipated, Defence mechanism, P'Twilk, Psionic flash, countered effect." The Beast said, unphased by the powerful blast that Mathiz had unleashed. Her head still stung from the effect of such a use of her natural psionic abilities. Nothing, nobody could stand being hit by such a blast. Normally other beings, while not injured, were at least stunned for quite some time after being hit by one of these. This Beast though, knew how not to be hit by it. Unphased, it took another step toward her, as she took another step back.

“No! No! No! Please!" she whimpered out, hands outstretched now in a pathetic act of defence. She was now so panicked that she didn't notice the Beast curling its long tail around its side.

She closed her eyes, now that the inevitable was only seconds away. This couldn't be the end, but she was now sure that whatever this was, it would kill her for what she had just done to it.

*SHLINK!*

Suddenly something hit her in her belly. Mathiz opened her eyes and saw that the Beast had struck her in the belly with the tip of its tail. It grinned and suddenly there was an electric feeling across her body, like she had just gripped a live wire. Her hands went out to her sides and her fingers spread, her purple fur stood on end.

“GAARRRAAGGG!!" she stuttered as this new feeling came over her. Suddenly her muscles froze, she tried to move, even from the shock of what just happened. But she couldn't, she was still breathing, and she could blink her eyes, but the rest of her body was paralysed.

“Told you, not resist," the Beast said, its mouth still unmoving, as it withdrew its tail and slowly walked up to her. Mathiz's heart pounded, as it came close and pushed its face up to the tip of her vulpine-like nose. Mathiz was so scared now that she was sure she would wet herself if she hadn't been frozen like she now was. It put its lower set of arms on her waist, and then it looked around.

“Threat none, alone new captive, safe," it said, before sliding around to her back.

“Assess captive, storage, medical." it then said as she felt its long fingers from all four sets feel along her body. Her legs, arms, waist, neck, torso, head, tail, it even ran them over her long webbed leathery ears, and tweaked them up. The last part almost reminded her of a small occasionally affectionate thing her husband would do. She shivered, or at least wanted to shiver, as she knew how oddly sensitive they were. It then stopped.

“Health assessment initial, average to good, within parameters with database species gender plus age," it said from behind her.

“Gee, thanks!" She thought to herself.

“Interesting, database species, psionic natural, can hear internal thoughts of species, reaction normal out block. Reaction curious, unknown, variable, reaction to targeted paralysis toxin and/or heightened stress." The Beast said.

“OK, Mr Creepy what your saying is, in less broken common, is that you can read my fucking mind?" She thought knowing that the Beast could at least hear her internal monologue. Well, it would be a monologue if it wasn't for the fact that it was now talking back to her.

“Inquiry, Correct," the Beast said.

“Oh, that's just fucking great! So what'ya gonna do now, fucking kill me? Well then if so my final thought to you is, FUCK YOU!" She thought.

“Negative, now captive, no need to harm, instruction, capture only, self-termination of unit preferential to combat with hostile units, advised to keep company secrets of Raptor Tech Corporation over self existence." It said.

“Oh, so that's great, just fucking great, if our corp hadn't been a bunch of cheapskates and worry pots and heck, armed us with even as little as fucking BB guns then I wouldn't be frozen here right now?" she thought on.

“BB gun, Database search, BB gun, small arm, ammo, ball bearing metal or plastic material, propellent air, calibre between 4 to 6mm, non-lethal or insignificant damage potential, rating threat, ZERO." The Beast said in reply.

“OK, so something a bit better than a BB gun, fuck, whatever, anyway just what the fuck are you going to do to me then?" She thought again.

“Acquired captive, assess medical suitability for attachment to NPFCS." It said.

“NPFCS? Just what the fuck is that?" She asked via thought.

“Nutrient Processing Feeding Containment System, Second component to engineered Biomorph X6969." The Beast replied. She recalled what she had read in that report, which mentioned something about keeping its prisoners alive via some means.

“OK, so what *if* I'm unsuitable then?" She asked as another thought.

“Attempt to monitor, maintain vitals, less suitability requires more monitoring, resources system, prime directive, capture, keep alive," it said. “Status, current captive, inside bodily health requirements for storage."

“ER.. OK, so you said that was an initial health assessment. So if I'm ready to go into your little storage pod thingy, what the fuck else have you got to check for then?" She thought curiously.

“reproductive system and sensitivity of sexual organs check." It said, and she could feel its claws suddenly slide under the collar of her blue body suit.

“Hey! Wait a second! What!" Mathiz cried out in her own mind and her eyes lit up to the touch. Suddenly she knew what was going to happen. Those ripped bodysuits of Aldin, Jenna, and her husband Teawelk.

Suddenly she felt a harsh yank and tear, and the Beast ripped the top half of her bodysuit away. Its lower hands gripped the legging sections and just as quickly they were now just shreds on the floor. She was now exposed there in her white camisole and undies against the cold of the bridge. Its top hands reached for her camisole, while its lower ones slid its sharp digits under the elastic of her panties.

“Hey now! That was a bit, you know, violent, could you at least be careful with my undies if you intend to get me buck naked? You can just lift my cami over my head you know? I know you can somehow pull down folks' pants clean enough." She thought slightly angry at her treatment and hoped this stupid thing could understand that.

“Understood, noted captive discomfort in removal clothing process, care apply." It said now reaching up under her camisole, and it gently lifted it so it was over her breasts exposing them to the cold air. Then awkwardly it raised her arms pulling it up and pushing her head back as it removed her camisole before throwing it to the side. It then gently lowered her arms to her sides and slid her head back forward. Then its lower arms pulled down her panties, and she could sense the Beast kneeling somewhat as they got to her feet.

“OK, so you got me naked now, are you happy?" she thought with some annoyance, feeling all the cold against her purple, and cream fur, and more importantly exposed private parts.

“Satisfactory, examination continuing," It said to her. The Beast then placed its top hands over her breasts and started to feel around them squeezing them, using its fingers to tweak her nipples. Its lower hands went to her groin, one slid down and its digits rubbed along her clit and labia, gently stroking them, while the other hand reached around to her butt.

Mathiz's eyes became wide open to this intimate touching of her private areas. She wanted to shake, free herself of this unwanted touching but she couldn't.

“Hey, what are you do… Oh…" She thought as she was touched up and slowly masturbated by this thing.

“Captive, Relax, please, experience, noted not unpleasant." The Beast said to her.

“Yeah, but when this happens I either do this to myself, or it's via invite only, last…. I… oh… oh… oh.. oh my! Time I Checked, I didn't really give you the… gosh… Latter…. Did I?" She tried to think out as the pleasurable sensations from the feeling up hit her.

The Beast kept up with its fondling, its hands squeezing and feeling her exposed tits, the hand that was at her pussy was keeping up its stroking and she could feel herself becoming more wet as it did so. When she was lubricated enough it slipped a digit slightly and gently into her vagina, and gently out again before it went back to rubbing her clit and labia. Its other lower hand, the one that had been on her butt slid between her cheeks, she could feel some kind of lubrication on it. She mentally winced at this as she knew where it was going. Sure enough, it felt around her tail hole, on it, and around it, but thankfully not into it, before pulling away to place itself over her tummy. It pulled her in and next to it, as it continued to fondle her.

She wanted to say something, like stop, hadn't it done enough already? But it was all a bit too much. Her mind was slowly sinking into a pleasurable orgasmic fog, and it was hard to think straight.

Then it happened, the only body movement she had been able to make since this thing 'stung' her. Her tummy flexed and she was able to shudder slightly as she orgasmed. The pleasurable sensation raptured around her body. She wanted to give a cry and a huff of satisfaction, but in her state, she couldn't do that. All she could do was to pant heavily. The Beast pulled its hands away placing its lower hands on her hips, and upper hands on her shoulders.

Her mind slowly cleared as she stood there still unable to move and panting from the received orgasm.

“Are you fucking happy now? Yes, I can cum! Is that what you wanted to know?" She thought angrily as she had no idea how far this thing would go with its 'examination'. Which she felt was far too far.

“Results, reproductive and sexual organs test, Lactation production, adequate potential, female sex organ, hymen absent, noted use, previous copulation with above average male, abnormalities zero, Anus, healthy, no signs of sexual use. Stimulation and orgasm potential, good. Sexual health check for captive, good to above average." She heard the Beast say from behind her.

“You know, you could have just, well, asked me! We can at least talk to each other and there wasn't any need to feel me up. I mean, what are your tit's like? Well, they're quite a nice size, and perky, my husband loves them. What's you're vagina like? Well, I have a husband, and he's a Lortaxian and they practically pride themselves on being so well-hung, so sex? Every time we get back we'll have all kinds of crazy sex like it's going out of fashion, so yeah it's seen quite a bit of use from a big guy. My tailhole? No digestive issues, and Nope, I haven't tried any butt stuff, he probably won't admit it but it's more my husband's thing, on top of the big dick thing they have quite sensitive prostates. There, all the info you could have wanted and you didn't have to touch up my mimsy to get it!" She thought in response to the Beast's 'assessment'.

“Captive extra information, welcome, noted." The Beast said in reply, Mathiz could at least roll her eyes to that.

“Oh, one other thing." She thought.

“input, continue." The Beast said.

“You know, I DO have a name! Being stunned, and then stripped naked and wanked off by someone who isn't big, green, stupid, and has permission to do so is bad enough, but constantly calling me 'Captive' is really driving me up the wall." She thought to it. “I'm a living being, not a lump of meat!"

“Captive discomfort noted, name input?" The Beast said back.

“It's Mathiz, just call me that OK? I have a surname and title, but given how you speak, you will annoy me more than I already am if you call me that." She thought back to it.

“Noted, subject Mathiz." It replied, and Mathiz mentally sighed.

“Well, that's an improvement at least, so thank you, and take that as probably the only one you're likely to get." She thought back to it. “So anyway, Mr big intimidating, scary and perverted, what, if anything, must I endure next?" She asked it.

“Subject Mathiz, restraint, need to keep subject secure." The Beast said and it gently lowered her down so that she was on her knees. It then used its lower arms to place hers together behind her back. It lifted his upper set above her and put that set of hands together as it started kneading them.

“Yeah, that's something I needed to ask you." She thought to it.

“Subject Mathiz, Please, input?" The Beast said back.

“Yeah, how long does this paralysis toxin of yours last? I mean how long am I going to be frozen like this? It slipped my mind with all, you know, the fearing for my life, being stripped naked, wanked totally silly, all that stuff." Mathiz asked as the Beast parted its top hands to reveal a black film-like substance that stretched between them.

“Inquiry noted, Subject Mathiz, about twenty minutes before functionality restore, dependant effect duration, species plus gender." It said back to her lifting her arms away from her back.

“So, I should be able to move again soon?" She asked again in thought.

“Inquiry correct." It said, taking the film-like substance down to her arms, where it started to wrap her forearms together.

“So that's why you're tying me up with that 'stuff'? So I don't get away?" She asked again, as it wrapped her arms.

“Inquiry correct." It replied as she mentally sighed. She had noticed that the toxin had not only affected her ability to move but also her ability to use her psionics. Even though it was putting her into a state of bondage, she could still use them to escape when they came back. She toyed with the idea as the beast bound her forearms together. Sure she could do it, maybe, though last time it wasn't even phased by one of her more potent abilities. Then it was reading her thoughts, it would know that she was trying to escape before she even managed, if she managed to do it. Then even then what could she do? She was now being wrapped up in a film of some kind, and it was dammed tight! She wouldn't only be chased round the ship but she would have to figure out how to get free of this crap. It was pointless, and she knew it.

“Assumption correct, escape futile," The Beast said tugging at the film as it finished wrapping her forearms together. It rested her arms against her back gently as she took another mental sigh.

“So can I ask, what actually is this crap you are wrapping me in exactly, some kind of plastic?" She asked it via thought.

“Inquiry noted Subject Mathiz, Bioweave nanofiber, Can print and generate, case use, captive restraint, light, breathable, high tensile strength." The Beast said as it clasped its hands again and made more of the film.

This time the film came down in front of her, and the Beast placed it on her shoulders and it started to bind her torso and upper arms. She had to admit apart from the odd pull here and there, and the tightness of the bind the Beast was being at least gentle with her, and well it was kind of oddly enjoyable. She had thought about bondage a bit and was at least curious about it. The next time they were at home she would have asked Teawelk to tie her up to see what it was like. She thought about that as the Beast tied some of the film around her lower chest and arms.

In her mind, Teawelk had tied her arms to the top of their bedspread, her legs spread and tied to the bottom half. With her like that, he could toy and pet her, even fuck her as much as he pleased. Oh the thought of being so helpless, at least with her lover. She thought about that as the creature continued to wrap her up, it's where she wanted to be, not here, not being tied up like this and by this thing.

She almost didn't notice it but she was starting to sob.

“Inquiry, Subject in thoughts, Lortax, husband, partner?" The Beast asked as it continued to work.

“Yeah, that big green idiot is the one I married." She answered back.

“Lortax in thoughts, resemblance, third recent Captive." The Beast said back.

“Yeah, he's our engineer. Please, please tell me he's OK? I.. I.. saw blood near to where his clothing was." She thought still sobbing slightly. “Oh and please don't call him 'third captive', he's got a name as well, it's Teawelk, I mean sure he's a bit of a doofus, but like me, he isn't a lump of meat either."

“Noted, Subject Teawelk, attempted resistance, weapon used, crowbar, threat negligible, managed strike, damage slight, strike made, defensive, subject Teawelk, damaged, cut superficial, Subject Teawelk stunned with paralysis toxin, Subject Teawelk subdued, now in NPFCS, NPFCS will provide healing to Subject Teawelk." The beast said as it finished up the binding of her torso.

“He's... He's going to be alright?" She asked again via thought.

“Inquiry, correct, Subject Teawelk is subdued and safe." The Beast said giving her torso bonds one good final tug, and then a gentle pat.

“Thank you for letting me know that he's OK and going to be Ok, I guess." Mathiz thought.

“Note, remark, only one 'thank you' to receive likely." The Beast said.

“Well, you managed to earn a second, good for you, who the fuck knows? You might even actually get a third." She thought back to the Beast as she looked at how the beast had bound her. The black tape-like film was now fully wrapped around her upper torso, fully encasing her arms up to her shoulders, and even while she still couldn't move she could feel that the binding was tight. It had however kept her breasts exposed, and the binding had made them stand out, and even feel rather tender now. Her hands were also still free, but with nothing to grasp or pull at, they were quite useless where they were anyway. The binding was also at least flexible, and she noticed how it was easy to breathe even with how she had been wrapped up.

The Beast walked in front of her and slowly knelt. A cavity opened up just below its biomechanical rib cage, and it reached in with one of its lower arms. Mathiz's heart rate started to race slightly again, as she wondered what the beast would pull out.

“Effect noticed, sobbing, effect toxin wearing off. Work fast need to" It said to her through its unmoving mouth, as it slowly pulled out a black object. It looked like a dildo of some kind. More to the point a dildo that was shaped like a cock from a member of her own species, she could tell from the ever so slight knot that P'Twilk guys had. The only thing with it was the hole at its tip. The cavity just below the beast's rib cage then closed up and she stared at it for a second.

“What's that for? Something to stuff into my vagina?" She asked it via thought.

“Inquiry, assumption, negative, for insertion oral." It said. Then it quickly dawned on Mathiz as to what this thing was for.

“So it's a gag of some kind? I don't know how that's even going to attach, and besides, I don't know if you've noticed, I was the last one left, you've got everyone else. I could scream my head off as soon as I can actually get my voice back, and Nobody and I mean nobody is gonna hear me for millions and millions of miles." She thought to it. “Oh and one more thing."

“Input, waiting." The Beast said looking down at her.

“It's not like you *can* actually shut me up now?" She thought back, she wanted to shoot a cocky smile back at this thing, knowing indeed whatever it was going to do to her, it couldn't keep her quiet.

“Noted Situation, Subject Mathiz, crew member last known, attempt rescue likelihood, ZERO, Subject Mathiz, communication, psionic, limited." The Beast said.

“Yeah, you dummy, so what's the point then?" She thought to it.

“Gag, function primary, hinder vocal communication, cry for aid attempt, neutralised. Function primary, not necessary, function secondary, connection to NPFCS, requirement, connection for feeding/oxygen tube, Necessary" It said back to her, and her heart sank a little.

“So OK then, I've got to be gagged regardless." She thought back.

“Input correct." It said, using one of its lower arms to tilt her head back, and gently open her lower jaw. Its fingers held back her lower jaw, and she could feel the tips of its claws hold her tongue down so that it wouldn't roll back. Slowly it inserted the cock shaped gag into her vulpine-like muzzle. Thankfully it wasn't that big, and it only reached the end of her muzzle.

She had given oral before, to her husband at least. However, she knew that his length could almost hit the back of her throat. She was at least a little glad that the beast had used a cock shaped like a male of her own species. Sure she had never had sex with a fellow P'Twilk, or had given one oral. However, having something like her husband's cock in her mouth might have choked her had it been in there for a long time. With the cock now in her mouth the Beast slipped its claws off her tongue, and gently pushed her lower jaw against the gag.

Suddenly to her surprise, more of that black film started to come out from the sides of the cock gag. This time, the film was acting on its own accord. It Moved out from the gag to cover the top of her muzzle and lower jaw. She started to breathe rapidly fearing that this thing would cover her nose, as some of it covered the front of her muzzle. It quickly wrapped her muzzle shut, and luckily, it left her nose alone. Some strands started to move away from the main wrap around her muzzle to the back of her head, she felt them slide along her cream cheek fur. The Beast lifted her brown hair so that the sides of the film could come together. It held it there for a second, and Mathiz could only helplessly look back at the Beast in return. Satisfied that the film came together and that she was now adequately gagged it let down her hair.

It took a step back, seemingly to admire its own handiwork as Mathiz remained there on her knees. Her torso was bound and her muzzle was firmly gagged by the cock and film that the creature had wrapped them in. Slowly she felt the ability to move come back now, as she started to flex her fingers and scoot her long silky tail across the floor. As her muscle movement returned she attempted to fight against the bonds the beast had put her in. She squirmed against the bonds against her torso and tried to pull against the ones around her forearms.

“HUURRFF! HUUURRRRFF!" Was the only sound that she was able to make against the cock gag that was both in and around her muzzle.

The Beast just watched her struggle on her knees against its handiwork. Her tail swished rapidly across the floor, and she squirmed franticly against the film. She threw her head back and wiggled intensely against her bonds. Her tits pressed up by the binding flopped about, and her hands grasped for any leverage or slack, but the position they were in it was quite hopeless even if they had anything to grasp or pull against.

“HUUURRRF!" Again she cried out against the gag. She gave one last pull against the bonds before she sank down, head looking at the floor, her leathery webbed ears folded down and eyes closed in a sign of defeat.

“OK, you win fuck face! This crap you put me in is fucking tough!" She thought as she knelt there panting. Slowly she looked back up at the Beast that had now stepped toward her.

“Subject Mathiz, movement return, test restraint allow, Subject Mathiz shown impossible to escape." It said to her.

“Yeah, you're telling me." She thought back.

“Noticed, Subject Mathiz, vaginal lubrication during struggling increased. Indicator, subject Mathiz, sexual interest increased while under restraint." The creature said to her. Mathiz put her legs together and blushed with embarrassment. She had indeed become wet again and slightly horny while struggling. She had to admit that the feeling of helplessness was great, as was the feeling of the bonds. All increased by the extra tightness to the bonds against her tits which was increasing their sensitivity. She looked away from it and closed her eyes in slight shame.

“Oh good for you then, you made me discover that I have a kink." She thought back with a little mild annoyance. “Although I still would have rather have worked that one out with my husband, and not here with you."

Mathiz sighed for a second, then opened her eyes and looked at the Beast. “So big guy what's next, are you gonna drag me away to join the others, or what?" She thought, to it as she wiggled against her bonds slightly.

“Drag away, negative, harm to subject Mathiz cause, protocol harm prevent to subject Mathiz." The Beast said back. “Inquiry correct, Subject Mathiz, take to NPFCS, further prepare Subject Mathiz for NPFCS."

“Well then, what are you waiting for? It's not like I can go anywhere now" Mathiz thought back, opening her eyes and giving the creature a slightly defiant look. The Beast walked right up to her. It took a step to the side and bent down. With its lower set of arms, it grabbed her bound forearms and lifted her. With its other arm, it pulled her tail in against her legs. With its other arm under her legs, it quickly scooped her up and raised itself. She looked around as she was cradled in the Beast's lower arms, and wiggled her legs.

“Oh OK, that wasn't so bad," She thought while the Beast looked around and started slowly walking towards the door to the bridge. It had closed during her ordeal, and somehow she hadn't noticed.

“Well big guy, what'ya gonna do now, do you know how to work the doors?" She thought to it.

“Negative, information none on ship workings," It said to her.

“Well fuck, looks like we're trapped in here then, if you hadn't done the tying me up thing I…" She thought, then the door hissed open.

“That fucking AI!" She thought.

“Ships AI, unknown quantity," The Beast said as it walked with her through the open door.

“Well by the sounds of that, you're not in cahoots with it then." She thought to it.

“Negative." It said back.

“Well it looks like it was programmed by the company to find you, then it used you to subdue us, a test maybe? I don't know, either way, it looks like it was at least giving you a hand to find me. That's why it only woke us up in the manner that it did, it probably calculated you had a better chance of catching us all one by one. Fuck! It was probably the one that freed you from that container in the first place!" She thought as they started to walk through into the galley."

“Subject Mathiz, assumption, calculated, highly probable." The Beast said back, and Mathiz sighed slightly and rested her head a little against the Beast. She had been cradled like this before on her wedding night to Teawelk. It had been a simple affair as most Lortaxian ceremonies for such occasions were. However, there was still quite a party. None of Teawelk's family was there because they lived several systems away, and he had been estranged from them for personal reasons. However, some fellow Lortaxian colonists had at least come to see the marriage of one of their own. It was their usual friendliness that they were famed for, and none begrudged that he was marrying someone of an entirely different species altogether. After the ceremony, they hired the most luxurious room at the colony's hotel. It wasn't much being a colony hotel, but it did have a large double bed. He had carried her up the stairs and to the room in this fashion, in his fancy wedding robes, while she had a nice white and gold trimmed dress. He had only stopped carrying her once they had gotten to that double bed. And then both sets of clothing, possibly the most expensive they had ever bought didn't stay on for long. The only thing that she kept on was the white and gold-trimmed tights that came with her wedding dress.

She and Teawelk had a lot of sex during their time together. It was understandable given how hot-blooded male Lortaxians could be, but their first night as a married couple had been the most memorable.

“Subject Mathiz, memory indicated pleasant, noted effect calmness of Subject Mathiz, Indicator, thoughts of Subject Teawelk, possible situation current." The Beast said as it slowly walked over to the galley door.

“Yeah, I guess being held like this reminded me of our wedding night." She said sighing. “That and how much I miss that idiot at the moment. Why are you interested in it?"

“Inquiry, Plus curiosity, correct, subject Mathiz, mental state, calm, noted odd in subject captive." The Beast said back.

“Well fucking gee! You know it's maybe all this talking we're doing, you know have you tried that before, you know, rather than zapping people with that toxin thing of yours? Fuck, I mean, OK you're a shit conversationalist, but the rest of the things you do, hell I know that there are some freaks who're totally into this shit out there. Maybe, I don't know, talk to folk, who knows maybe some will want to be you're 'captives' a bit more willingly maybe?" She thought to it as she wiggled in the Beast's arms.

“Response noted, number likelihood subjects interest in captivity, reasons sexual, response, inquire than force use noted, likelihood less hostility to capture situation. Inquiry about Subject Mathiz with Subject Teawelk, database species P'Twilk, noted, do not take life partners." The Beast said as they got up to the door for the galley to the service corridor, where it waited for the AI to notice and open the door for it.

“OK, yeah sure, I mean we have time after all, and yeah, thanks for noticing that being married to a life partner is totally out of the ordinary for my species." Mathiz thought as the door hissed open. “So, you want to know my story?"

“Inquiry correct." The Beast said stepping through with her in its arms.

“Well OK then, My mother was a typical higher station P'Twilk, real corpo big wig. Already hitting her three hundred's, she wanted a kid, she found a partner, did the contracts, and boom she got her wishes! A little bouncing baby girl! Sadly for her, this little baby girl wasn't really interested in screwing people over financially and was more into science. So at ten I went and studied science, hard in fact, at 21 I got my PhD in planetary science. My Mum naturally was disappointed, but it wasn't like I gave a shit, so I studied on for at least three more years to get my Doctorate."

“Species database, P'Twilk noted, intelligence high, fast ability to learn." The beast said.

“Yeah, I can call myself, Dr Mathiz M'tan, PhD, but I only ever do that when it comes to professional correspondence, reminds me too much of Mum, she liked people calling her all that formal crap." She thought to it.

“Noted, Subject Mathiz, update, full title Dr Mathiz M'tan. Noted Subject Dr Mathiz M'tan, Dislike of mother." The Beast said.

“Wait! Don't call me that I just said so!" She thought out. “And no I didn't fully hate my mother, it's just that we didn't see quite eye to eye, she wanted me to be one thing, I wanted to be another. She still cared for and loved me, however, I just wanted to go a different way with my life. We still talk, heck, she even asks about Teawelk on the odd occasion." She thought to it.

“Expected, mother of subject Mathiz worry," The Beast said as it slowly walked down the service corridor, Mathiz noted that it wasn't exactly hurrying. Somehow it was taking its time perhaps taking interest in her actual story.

“Yeah, she'll lose her fur if we don't check in on schedule I'm certain of that. But anyway I thought you wanted to talk to me about me and Teawelk?" She thought again.

“Correct." The Beast said as it slowly plodded.

“Well anyway, after my doctorate I decided to get work, had the qualifications and all. So with some wanderlust in me, I got a planet scientist job for a corp operating in the outer sectors. There's not a lot to talk about really, it was mainly just mineral prospecting, or at least it's a fancy term for it. While working that gig, I had to go on a prospecting run with this dummy of a Lortax and his brother. It… It was a long story, more Teawelk's I think, hurts him more. I'll keep things short, it went wrong, and we had to survive, I found myself growing close to him as a result. We… We ended up bonding shall we say." Mathiz went on.

“Story, indicate, subject Teawelk, brother deceased." The Beast said, and Mathiz sunk her gagged muzzle into her chest and closed her eyes.

“Yeah, what happened on the trip, wasn't his or my fault, but he still lives with the guilt over it a little. I minored in psychology, and the corp we were working for hardly gave a shit save for a small payout. So yeah, I was his therapist, more so knowing what happened, I…" She stopped for a second. “Well I needed someone to talk to help process it too, and I was the only P'Twilk working there. Anyway, we ended up seeing each other often. Then we became good friends, and then lovers. A year later the big doof asked me if I would marry him." She opened her eyes again. “Well, it wasn't the easiest of decisions, I was going against some traditions, I knew that by…" She stopped to gulp for a second, “Well, you know that we P'Twilk can artificially extend our lives?"

“Database species, confirm fact." The Beast said.

“Yeah well, I had to choose, live for a thousand years, or live for only one hundred but be with someone I had fallen in love with. I chose the latter, and I said yes." She thought to the Beast, as a small tear came from her eye.

“Noticed, subject Mathiz, emotion sad." The Beast said, and to her surprise the Beast took one of its upper arms and wiped the side of her face. She wanted to recoil at first from this action, but the second she saw that it wouldn't harm her she let it do that.

“No, No… That was a happy memory, a tough one, but still happy. Anyway, long term, we ditched that gig a few months later. I signed on as a ships science officer, and Teawelk as an engineer. Due to our marital status, we made sure we got the same posting. We've been working these gigs ever since." She thought on as the Beast lifted its arm away.

“Inquiry, Subject Mathiz, Subject Teawelk, happy with life?" The Beast said.

“Well it's OK, the pay is excellent, but it's not really what we want to do for the rest of our lives." She Thought to it.

“Inquiry, Subject Mathiz. Subject Teawelk, life plans further?" The Beast said as they slowly approached the door to the cargo bay.

“Well, something that any married couple wants to do settle down and have kids." Mathiz thought to it.

“Species Database, Lortax plus P'Twilk pairing, noted potential offspring likelihood low." The Beast said as it stepped in front of the door and waited.

“Yeah, don't say that we haven't already been trying, I know Teawelk really wants to be a dad someday. To Lortaxes family is everything, so he wants to be a father, and myself? Well, I've also wanted to be a mother as well, more so as I'm doing it out of actual love for someone." She stopped herself for a second. “But yeah, I know, I'm not sure if we will ever be able to do it naturally. I mean, we're compatible when it comes to physical sex, but for anything to come from it, yeah I'm not sure if we can. I mean, I've done it with him while I'm fully cooking in heat, hoping he will put a bun in my oven, but zippo, nothing so far." She thought sighing. “I was going to look at gene or nano therapy when we got back to see if we could conceive that way." She then sniffed and sobbed a little. “I mean, if we ever get back."

The Beast looked down at her as the door to the cargo bay hissed open. “Unit assessment sure, subject Mathiz, Subject Teawelk, get home, uncertainty when." The Beast said.

“Fuck you're not helping, I'm fucked, we're fucked aren't we?" She thought to it, tears now rolling down her cheeks.

“Unit, mission, capture, care for captives, not harm, not kill, rescue, eventual, can't confirm when or what party. Subject Mathiz, survival chances, good to high." The Beast said. “Suggestion, Communication, continue, help subject Mathiz, state calm, maintain." The Beast said as they walked into the cargo bay.

“Well, OK big guy." She thought sucking in a sob and sniffing. “You've got to know about me and my husband a bit, but can you at least tell me something about yourself? I mean I get the feeling that all that talk earlier, that shit I read in that report, that you're going to be playing with my parts again soon. Heck, I should at least get to know the person or thing, that will be playing with my junk."

It looked down at her again, and seeing that she was in some distress started to rock her gently like a baby.

“Assumption, Subject Mathiz, correct, connection to NPFCS will require stimulation/use of subject Mathiz, sexual organs. Inquiry, unit X6969, self, Raptor Tech Model X6969, unit task, capture of organics, care for captives until specified shutdown." the Beast said to her as Mathiz looked back at it through tear-stained eyes.

“So, are you some kind of Robot then?" She asked via thought trying to compose herself.

“Inquiry, Subject Mathiz, nature, Model x6969, self, Bio-robotic lifeform. AI in psychotropic brain, engineering term, Bio-morph." It said as they walked past its container, to which Mathiz gave a look.

“So how long have you been alive or active then?" She asked again via thought.

“Inquiry, Subject Mathiz, unit activation, 80 hours ago." It said to her.

“So only after you popped out of your box then? No previous memories, you know, like a factory, or lab full of Raptor Tech perverts?" She asked via thought as she looked back at the beast.

“Inquiry, Subject Mathiz, correct, only activated after deployment from container, Inquiry, previous memories, negative." It said back to her.

“So nothing then, so you're only 80 hours old, such a big boy for an 80-hour lad." She thought to herself giggling with muted huffs against the gag. “Ah well, is there anything else then, got any hobbies? Do you play any sport? Heck, got a fave holo-soap? I don't know."

“Inquiry, Subject Mathiz, came out of container this size, no growth of unit x6969, unit unaware of creation process, inquiry, hobbies, recreation, negative, note, unit x6969, emotion, enjoyment, gain of information, noted, collection from Subject Mathiz." It said looking at her again. “Note, subject Mathiz, attempt, emotion, situation, humour."

“Oh whatever you say big guy, and hey! Looks like robot things can learn to enjoy a thing or two." Mathiz thought to it as she looked back at the Beast. It might have been the light in the cargo bay but she could have sworn that the beast had moved its grinning mouth into an amused smile for a second.

Just as they approached the door to the engine bay the Beast suddenly stopped for a second.

“Hey, big guy? What's up?" She asked curiously via thought.

“Inquiry, situation, noticed, WARNING! Levels of O2 depleting. Recent level 100%, now at 97%," the Beast said. Mathiz looked back at it her eyes now wide open with concern.

“FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!" She thought. “It's the ship's AI, it might be tracking you via the doors, but it can't see me, sure I have an embedded PTD, but that can only be rung via crew input."

“Inquiry, Subject Mathiz, Ship AI, your assessment." The Beast said back to her.

“Yeah, I was getting to that, since it can't track me without manual input it must be attempting to hurry along the situation with my capture by shutting down the life support. Either you get me, or I suffocate." She thought.

“Assessment, if not captured, survival via cryobed system, presence system noticed." The Beast said.

“Yeah, I could have gotten back into the cooler, but knowing that bitch it would have cut the power to them. I get captured, or I die. FUCK!" She thought. “It set me up with a no-win scenario didn't it?"

“Subject Mathiz, assumption correct," The Beast said as Mathiz looked back at it.

“These NPFCS things? Do they at least act as cryobeds, can they support life?" She via thought asked the Beast.

“Inquiry, Subject Mathiz, inquiry correct, NPFCS capable of supporting life even in zero atmosphere, similar to cryobed system, noted improvement, capable of maintaining life longer than cyrosleep system due to biological maintenance of subjects." It said back to her.

“Well fuck, maybe it's a good thing that you got me then, shit knows what fate has for me on the other side though, but the fucking AI isn't giving me a choice." She said via thought. “Anyway, how long have we got before we hit zero air and are at one with the vacuum?"

“Inquiry, Subject Mathiz, Approximation oxygen levels, depletion life maintenance below, one hour 30 minutes." The beast said to her.

“Is that enough time to do what you've got to do to me?" She asked her heart starting to race a little.

“Inquiry, Subject Mathiz, provided, complications, ZERO. 45 minutes, under." The Beast said back to her.

“Well then what exactly are you waiting for!" She said back to it, and the Beast responded by restarting its walk toward the engine room door. It stopped for a second by the door and waited for the AI to notice. The door hissed open and the Beast walked through with Mathiz in its arms.

The engine room was the largest of the rooms on the ship, but one wouldn't think that as the engines themselves made up most of the space, and walkways were tight. The Beast pulled Mathiz's legs and tail in a bit allowing them to move along the narrow walkways past all the machinery. It ducted occasionally, and Mathiz could almost feel how close she was to the deck every time it did so. The Beast also took some care and shifted Mathiz's head, so she didn't catch her head against any pipe, valve or panel that jutted into the narrow walkway. Mathiz however closed her eye's this wasn't the best of experiences. At the back of her mind, she was worried that she would be clocked by some bit of metal that the beast didn't see.

Eventually, they arrived at a somewhat open area, and the beast gently laid Mathiz down on the cold metal decking. She opened her eyes as she lay there and looked up noting the enormous grey box in front of her, and she saw the words “Primary coolant tank" Where painted in white along the side. She slowly lowered her gaze, and that's when she saw them. What the Beast had been talking about, the NPFCS units.

They were large bubble-shaped things attached to the tank with a biomechanical membrane. This resembled that of the Beast's body. Each unit looked big enough to accommodate a large humanoid being. She squinted adjusting to the low light so she could see that each one had a light inside, and she could see the occupants of each pod. On the furthest, she saw the big red body of Captain Aldin, next to his pod was Jenna, and next to her was her beloved. All were bound and gagged in the same manner as she was, although the guys had their chests completely covered by the film. They seemed to be attached to what looked like a series of long fingers, much like those on the beast's hands that were clamped around them. Their legs were raised and parted to expose their neither regions and to keep them within the bubble. Two long arms had jutted out to keep their legs up like this. She could make out that there was another set of fingers that helped to keep them shackled like this above their knees. Aldin and Jenna also had their tails clamped down by these fingers. One at the base of their tails and then each tail had been looped around the side of the pod, as much as possible to keep them inside. Aldin's tail in particular came up and over his head.

There were also other things she had noticed the Beast or these pods had done or were now attached to them. All of them had what looked like a tube now going to their gags, this must have been the feeding and breathing tube that the beast had talked about. These tubes fed into the back of the biomechanical unit. Each captive also had what seemed to be a cap made of the same biomechanical substance these pods, and the beast was made from on their heads. She saw two little tubes extending from these, and they went into their ears.

Aldin and Teawelk had a clear tube-like device slipped over their erect cocks, these seemed to pulse in a rippling motion over their members. Again this tube-like device was also connected to a black tube much like the one for the feeding and breathing ones, these also fed into the unit in the same way. Just below their dangling testicles, Mathiz could make out a faint orange pulsing glow, that seemed to be coming from their asses.

Jenna meanwhile had two thinner tubes coming from the back of the unit, these were attached to her nipples via caps that spread out like flower petals. A type of device had been placed over her private parts. Mathiz from where she was couldn't tell if it was stuck on, or was coming out from the unit itself. What she could tell however was that there was no orange pulse coming from her butt, like there was with the guys. This thing on her parts was much like the cap on Jenna's head, it was also biomechanical.

There was also something else about the captives in the units, they seemed, well slightly different to the crew and husband that she knew. Not massively different, however, Aldins and Teawelks testicles seemed, well bigger. She couldn't be sure about Aldin, she had never seen him fully in the nude until now, but she had seen him at least in his briefs, and she was sure that while his package was as big as her husband's, it wasn't as big as it now seemed. Her husbands were something she could be more sure of, she had fondled them herself after all. While she knew Teawelk had a nice pair of nuts, they were at least the size of which she could put both of them in her hand. Now they looked big enough that she could fit just one of his balls alone into the palm of her hand. Then there were Jenna's tits, for a vixen she wasn't the biggest of girls but Jenna's pair was slightly smaller than her own, and she had time to compare that note in the showers. Now they seemed to have grown by a cup size or two. It could have been the bondage that Jenna was in, but Mathiz doubted that somehow, as they seemed more firm and bigger.

Also, she was sure of it. They all seemed to be, well pudgier in the belly. She knew her husband and Aldin had quite nice six-packs, but now they had slightly swollen bellies like they had both decided to hit nothing but junk food for a week. Jenna too was also sporting a belly like she was a few months expecting. Last she knew Jenna was single, although she had been seeing Aldin while off duty, she never said if they were in a committed relationship. However, when they had started the voyage she hadn't shown any signs of being so, and pregnancy was slowed like other biological functions while in cryo. What had happened to them here? Was it the stuff these pods were feeding them that had caused them to be like this?

Mathiz's eyes then saw that below these pods was another one, it was longer and had tubes coming and going to the pods. It glowed white and was filled with an unidentified fluid that was gently stirring in it. Mathiz reasoned that this was the bio-matter 'stuff' that helped to keep the occupants of the pods alive and well during their captivity within them.

She wiggled backwards a bit and saw the fourth pod, it was empty and the bubble had yet to go around it. She could see the fingers and the arms poking out to retain and restrain its next occupant. That occupant she knew would be her. She instinctively wiggled back, she didn't want to go in that thing, she didn't want to become like her fellow crew mates and her husband. But she also knew about the slowly dwindling supply of air, and how little choice she had now in this matter.

Then to her surprise, the occupants of the pods Aldin, Jenna, and her husband all started to move. Until now they had seemed to be sleeping, but now they were moving, squirming against their bonds. They all made muted moans against their gags, but Mathiz could tell that these were not out of pain but of pleasure. Aldin and her husband started to buck their hips slightly, and they huffed against the gags heavily. The devices on their cocks stopped pulsing and now started a sucking motion to their restrained thrusting. They bucked a bit more before the pair came almost at the same time, and she could see that the devices on their cocks were now filled with their seed. Quickly the cum that they had shot out was sucked up by these devices. Mathiz could now tell that the tubes in these units were opaque, as she could see the sucked-up cum travel through them and into the back of the unit.

Jenna too was squirming, and also moaning against her gag. Her swollen tummy seemed to flex somewhat to the stimulation. Mathiz knew that Jenna was cumming, as she watched her legs shake. Jenna stopped just after her orgasm peaked and she relaxed panting into her gag. The thing that was on her neithers leaked a little fluid that must have been Jenna's own juices from her pussy, but at no point did it become detached despite being so wet. It was then that she saw the two tubes attached to Jenna's nipples flexing, as they started to suck. She saw the slight trickle of white fluid now going through them. The unit was milking the vixen, as she slowly rested in post-orgasmic bliss.

Mathiz looked again at the vacant pod, and then at the Beast. That was to be her fate for now. To be hooked into this thing, to be made to cum, and milked over and over again. She shook a little now knowing that.

“Is that… Is that what is going to happen to me?" She nervously asked the Beast via thought.

“Subject Mathiz, Inquiry, captivity, noted, Female captive vulpine, correct." The Beast said back, Mathiz started to sob again as soon as it said that.

“That's… That's… horrible! I don't want to be fucked over and over and milked like a cattle beast. I… I…" She thought sobbing.

“Subject Mathiz, reminder, situation, oxygen now at 80%, estimated time to depletion Oxygen below life maintenance 1 hour 10 minnets". The Beast said.

“FUCK YOU!" She thought back angrily to it, and sat and sobbed for a few seconds, looking away from the Beast. The Beast was right though, the air was running out, even if she was free, the AI had most likely off-lined the cryobeds. This, this unpleasant thing, this thing that was going to happen to her it was her only choice. Well, she could suffocate, and die, bound naked on the engine room decking. That however was no way to check out, and she didn't want to die, she wanted to live and to see her husband again. She composed herself and looked back at the beast, with a little anger in her eyes.

“Noted Subject Mathiz, emotional state, distress, anger, discomfort." The Beast said.

“Yeah, no shit!" She thought to it, and then she lowered her head. “Listen, I've been through nothing but shit since I woke up, no it's worse than shit, it's an utter fucking nightmare, first the crews missing, then I'm scared for my life, I get violated, then tied up, I find out my husband and the crew that I am with are trapped in fuck pods, and that I've got a choice of being raped by that thing or death." She stopped for a second. “So yes, I am quite pissed off, my brain is in 'this is a nightmare and I'm still in cryo' mode, but I can… I can feel everything… It's…"

The Beast stepped down slowly. It gently put one of its long claws on her face and stroked it. Mathiz looked at it as it did so.

“Unit sorry, Distress in Subject Mathiz, not wish, cause harm. Mental, physical. Sole concern, life subject, Mathiz." It said to her, in some attempt at reassurance.

“I don't want to die either." Mathiz thought to the Beast. “Just tell me, are they aware of their situation? Everything that's happened to them? When I go into that thing, will I feel anything?" She asked.

“Inquiry, Subject Mathiz, Negative, capture process and attachment to NPFCS noted distressing, NPFCS noted, erase memory of procedure, Subjects in NPFCS in shared dream state, no knowledge of attachment to NPFCS or situation. Memory and awareness return, 24 hours after detachment to NPFCS." The Beast said to her.

“OK, anyway it's not like I have a choice anyway, but at least consider that you have my consent to do what you need to do." Mathiz thought. “Just try to be careful, with whatever it is you have to do next."

“Noted, Subject Mathiz, gives consent for procedure plus attachment to NPFCS. Noted, non-requirement, note, subject stress lowered by accepting notice of consent." The beast said, “Is Subject Mathiz, ready proceed?" It went on seemingly acknowledging Mathiz's giving of consent.

“Yeah sure" Mathiz thought, and the beast moved to move her into a position. “Yeah big guy, give me some agency here! I can still move a little, what do you want me to do?"

“Roll on front, move legs forward, pelvic region in air, move tail to side." The beast said.

“OK, roll on my front and stick my ass in the air, and then give you a good look at my privates and my tailhole? Sure I can do that." Mathiz said as she wiggled onto her front, then slid her knees forward so that she could bring her butt up into the air. Having managed to do that quite awkwardly, she flopped her long silky black and white ringed tail to one side exposing her privates and tailhole to the Beast.

“Is this what you want?" She asked via thought.

“Correct." The Beast replied.

“Good, can you do what you need to do now, and do it quickly? Because this metal decking is really fucking cold against my tits!" She said via thought.

“OK, Proceeding." The Beast said and it walked round to her now exposed rear. It then snaked its tail past her so she could see its bulb-like tip, and it hung it in front of her. Then suddenly the bulb-like tip of the tail opened like a flower to reveal another long bulb-like object. It was slender at its tip and widened before tapering to a thin point at the bottom. She could see that it also had a base of some kind where it was attached to the tail of the Beast. It was also covered in a type of mucus and was glowing orange and red.

“Is that what I think it is?" Mathiz asked.

“Inquiry, Subject Mathiz, object nature, digestive system suppression and compatibility device for NPFCS nutrition." The Beast said.

“Translation from bio-bot to common, it's a butt plug." Mathiz thought back to it.

“Subject Mathiz, correct, device for insertion, Anal." The Beast said moving the plug on its tail out of her view. Mathiz wiggled and winced her eyes as the Beast moved the plug to her back and pointed it at her exposed tailhole.

“Noted, from previous interaction, health check sexual, Subject Mathiz, negative for anal sexual activity. Note, proceed with care." The Beast said positioning the tip of the plug at her exposed rear.

“Yeah, er… Please do, I've had a lot of sex, however Butt stuff? I've never personally tried it. Teawelk, sure, he's totally into being pegged, but myself? Well, I should have tried it, at least once to feel what it was like. Heck after being on the receiving end of a few dildos and plugs Teawelk probably deserved to savour what my ass feels like at least once." She sighed again. “Yeah, you got me again on another thing, you get to claim my ass before my husband. So be careful, it's probably tighter than a corpo being asked to buy a round of drinks."

“Noted, Subject Mathiz, insertion careful, noting anal tightness." It said as it slowly slipped the tip of the plug into Mathiz's tender pucker. She screwed her eyes closed as she felt the plug enter her rear, and she moaned into the cock gag in her mouth. The beast drew it back, then forward again, allowing her tailhole to be lubricated by the plug as it entered. The beast kept this up, slowly and gently, each slide in and out allowing the plug to go a little deeper into her tailhole each time. Mathiz winced at every thrust, each push mustered a louder moan from her gag as it got deeper into her.

It was painful, but at the same time pleasurable. As the Beast fucked her ass with the plug, the deeper it got, the wider her tailhole was spread. She could feel the pressure it was causing on all her other parts, giving them pleasant sensations. It kept on, pushing it harder and deeper.

Mathiz started to squirm in her bindings and trembled at the knees as the Beast continued to fuck her with its tail-based toy.

As the Beast pushed in the widest part of the plug, her tailhole was fully stretched. She squirmed intensely in her bindings, almost to the point where she was thrashing now. The beast gave another push back and forth of her now quite stretched tail hole, and she elicited a very loud moan from her gag.

“Required thrusts, remain one." The beast said.

“PPPUUURRSSSEESS!" Mathiz moaned from her cock gag, as she trembled and squirmed to the fucking of her virgin ass.

The beast pushed the plug back and forth again on this widest point. Mathiz pushed her rear a little further into the air as she moaned. It gave one more gentle thrust, and then Mathiz felt her sphincter close around the base of the plug sealing it in her tail hole. Mathiz opened her eyes as she lay there panting with this thing now fully inserted into her rear end. The beast shook its tail, and the Beast broke free of the plug now it was fully inserted into Mathiz. Mathiz rolled over off her knees and laid on her side, her tail slid instinctually over her exposed parts and the plug, as she looked at the Beast.

To her surprise the plug started to pulse gently, sending a pleasant sensation into her rear, and around her pelvic region. She shifted her legs and closed her eyes enjoying this new sensation that the Beast had left in her rear.

“Oh… Oh… That's… That's not bad, not bad at all really." She thought out.

“inquiry, Subject Mathiz, enjoyment of device, find pleasurable?" The Beast asked her.

“Oh… Oh... Oh... Yeah, This thing is really nice! Maybe not so much the part with shoving it up my butt, Oh… But these vibrations! Oh my!" Mathiz thought out, as her legs squirmed slowly as she rolled onto her back. She started to rub her thighs together and shake a little as the pulses intensified a little. She was becoming horny, her mind slowly only thinking about the sensations now going through her neither regions. Her leathery webbed ears folded back, and she threw her head back as she started to pant against the gag.

The plug was gently getting her off, and she was enjoying it. She wanted to touch her clit, and massage her labia to help it along, but the bonds were preventing her. She struggled against them, almost thrashing now to free her arms so she could work her now needy pussy. She threw her head forward and shook it from side to side as she huffed away into the gag.

All her concentration now was on the vibing that she was getting from the plug now in her ass. She forgot about the situation she was in. The caused peril by the oxygen being drained away by the AI. All she wanted to do was to cum, the plug was keeping her in this state of frustrated bliss, and the state of helplessness that she was in wasn't helping much at all. If anything it was only keeping her more horny. She rolled a bit more so that she was on her back and parted her legs thrashing and twitching a little to the sensations. She looked over to the Beast panting heavily. She gave it a pleading look as she lay there squirming in pleasure.

“Hey… Hey... B… Big… G… Guy? M… M… Mind… G… Giving a La… Lady… a… Hand here? I… I… Need to… to… Cu… Cum… So… So… ba… Badly! Can…. Can… Yo… you… Help… Help… Me… With… That?" Mathiz thought out through the bursts of pleasure that were flowing from her groin area. Her tail swished about expectantly awaiting the Beast's response.

“Inquiry, Subject Mathiz, wish to orgasm. Granted." The Beast said as it knelt next to her. It looked at her pleading face, which was panting hard into the gag. It looked at her, somehow softly at least it seemed by its body language to Mathiz, and it stroked the side of her face affectionately with one of its upper sets of arms. Meanwhile one of its lower sets reached down between her legs.

Mathiz squirmed a little, but as she became aware of the Beast's arm reaching between her legs, she parted them so that it had access to her now wet neither regions.

“P… Please, I… I… Need to…. C… Cum!" She thought pleading with the beast to satisfy her need.

It looked at her and ran its fingers gently along her sensitive leathery ears. She panted, as it ran its fingers along her moist labia, and she twitched to the touch. It kept this up, stroking her labia, tweaking her clit, while gently petting her face. She closed her eyes to this treatment. It was almost as if Teawelk was doing this to her, not a thing, this Beast. She gently shuffled, as the beast kept its toying of her parts, her tail swishing in satisfaction.

Her belly started to flex and her butt and pelvic region tensed. She lifted her legs wanting to wrap them around a body that wasn't there. The beast slipped its digits slowly into her now soaking vagina, then out again. She flexed and tensed again to this intrusion of her private area. She was getting close now, she knew it, and the Beast must have known it as her vagina tensed around its fingers as it inserted them again.

Mathiz's belly flexed, as did her body, even with the petting of her head she threw it back, with her eyes closed.

“HHHHHHUUUURRFFF!!!" She moaned out against the gag loudly.

Her tummy flexed in, and the beast withdrew its fingers, they were quickly followed by a squirt of Mathiz's juices that splashed a little over her silky tail and onto the metal deck. Her antenna glowed a pleasant pink for a second, and even with the gag on her face, she gave a satisfied expression.

She flopped back down, panting heavily, and the pulsing sensation from the plug in her ass subsided, as she came down from the orgasm. She also started to come back to her senses and remembered the situation that she was in. Slowly she opened her eyes again looking at the Beast, panting from the workout her parts had been given.

“That was kind of nice big guy, but how long do we have left now?" She asked via thought.

“Inquiry, Subject Mathiz, Time remaining to oxygen depletion below life maintenance, 49 minutes." The Beast said back to her.

“Shit, we better hurry this up." Mathiz thought back to it.

"Noted, Subject Mathiz, time remaining short. Need to hurry." The Beast replied. “Need to pick up, Attach, Subject Mathiz to NPFCS."

“Time to go in the bubble then?" Mathiz said to the beast.

“Correct," said the Beast.

With that, it stepped over Mathiz as she lay there on the floor, and placed both sets of arms on both sides of her body. It then hoisted her off the floor upright, her legs and tail dangling. It walked her over to the waiting device on the wall with her back to it. Mathiz looked left and right to see what was going on as her back and arms behind her were pressed against the biomechanical device. She could feel something as she came in contact with the device at her back. The black film that had kept her bound tight seemed to merge with the device. It pulled her in locking her in place with it. The long fingers that were to her sides reacted to this and extended out. They reached round her now attached body, and slowly they wrapped around her, clamping her in. She shuddered to the touch of those reaching around her more exposed waist. They felt cold against her purple body fur and cream belly fluff.

She squirmed against this new situation before the beast grabbed her lower legs and lifted them like the others. Mathiz looked down as she saw the two long bio-mechanical arms coming out of the device. Each had long fingers on both sides of a flat long palm. The Beast moved her legs so that these arms could grab them just above her knees. To which they did and they clasp them like a set of Manacles. She was now held in there, unable to move much besides her head, lower legs feet and tail. With her legs spread and her wet private parts being exposed she instinctively wanted to raise her tail to give herself some dignity. However, the Beast grabbed it and forced it down against the device. Another set of fingers grew out of it and went round the silky white fur of the tail and gripped its meat and bone, holding it in place.

The Beast then took the rest of her tail and started to do the same to the rest of its length coiling it around her. More of those fingers came out and did the same as they had done at the base of her tail pinning it to the device. It stopped as the tip of her tail was finally pinned in place, Mathiz looked at it and then at the rest of her body that was now restrained in the device as much as she could. She let out a little whine from her gag and wiggled. She was fully trapped now. The Beast would only have to do a few more things and she would be like the others. She looked back at it with her heart racing again.

“Is there anything else? Do you just have to connect up those... those tubes and such?" She asked nervously via thought to it.

“Inquiry, Subject Mathiz, Connection to NPFCS not final, require insertion of nanobot enhancement solution before connection, final." The Beast said.

“And… And how is that done? She asked via thought again.

“Inquiry, Subject Mathiz, insertion of nanobot enhancement solution, Female, vaginally into uterus, Male, into anus. Subject Mathiz, Female, will be, vaginally." The Beast said as Mathiz realised why she was locked into the device in such a way. Why her private parts where on display like this. It was going to fuck this stuff into her.

She trembled for a second, she knew that time was of the essence, but still, she wanted to delay this for a little longer. Having her ass plugged like that was bad enough, though at least the afterpart was nice. However the idea of being fully fucked and while fully restrained, was now making her feel extremely anxious. More so when she didn't know just what the 'nanobot enhancement solution' her womb was going to be filled with actually was, or what it was going to do to her.

“OK, can I just ask what is the nanobot stuff for exactly?" She asked the Beast via thought, keeping up the stalling, but also out of genuine curiosity.

“Inquiry, Subject Mathiz, Nanobot enhancement Solution, use, to aid captive in production of fluids for NPFCS, Males, Enlargement of testicles and production of sperm, Females, Enlargement of breast area and production of milk, also continued lubrication of the vaginal region." The Beast said back to her.

She looked to one side at her husband now in his pod, she had noticed his enlarged testicles, and how much seed he had shot when he had cum. That was what these nanobots were doing. She had to ask another question noting his swollen belly.

“So is that why their bellies are swollen like that?" She asked again.

“Inquiry, Subject Mathiz, Nanobots, belly swell. Correct, effect caused by the amount of nanobots in subjects." The Beast said as it took a step back.

“Erm… OK, so you're gonna shove these things in me, so are they permanent? As are the changes to my, and their bodies? I mean, I wanna be a mum someday, will they affect my ability to have kids? I…" She thought out, asking all the questions that she could. Watching on as she watched the Beast reaching for its groin.

“Inquiry, Subject Mathiz, nanobot enhancement solution, permanency in body, negative, only when hooked up to NPFCS, Inquiry, changes to body, negative, body will return to normal, time, 24 hours after disconnection to NPFCS, Inquiry, affect on pregnancy, low none, report last, may increase likelihood of conception." The Beast said as its bio-mechanical groin parted and slowly a long tube with a small black end poked out. “Notice, Subject Mathiz heightened state of anxiety, possibility, stalling procedure, reminder, oxygen depletion below life maintenance 43 minutes."

Mathiz's eyes lit up when the Beast said the nanobots might help her conceive a child. However, her expression sunk as soon as the Beast noticed what she was up to and reminded her of the ever-ticking clock.

“Yeah, shit, your right I'm stalling, as I said, I've been through a lot, and, and just being fucked again, and I really mean fucked this time, it isn't exactly something that I've been wanting in a hurry." She sighed and looked at her husband, then back at the Beast. “Thanks for telling me that this might actually help us be parents, well someday at least."

“Noted, Thank you, Subject Mathiz, more than one earned." The Beast said, stepping toward her and raising the tube from its groin.

“Yeah, well shit, maybe something good might come from this whole crappy experience." Mathiz thought as the tube extended up far enough so that she could get a good look at it.

The small black blob on the tip of this tube suddenly started to form and take shape. It grew about seven and a half inches in length, then slowly formed into a more phallic shape. Even at the end, Mathiz could see that it formed the tip of an actual penis. Then slowly it changed colour from black to more flesh like red and pink. The Beast raised it so she could get a good look, and she knew who it belonged to.

“You know, you can't really replace my big green idiot? You can't hug me, you can't kiss me, you can't whisper silly things into my ears, you can't stroke and caress my body. You're just made to shove things into people, to fuck, not actually make love." She thought to it.

“Noted, Subject Mathiz, relationship with, Subject Teawelk, Noted familiarity with penis on insertion, familiar, more likely to enjoy, ease insertion of nanobot enhancement solution." The Beast said. “Inquiry, subject Teawelk, low I.Q? Repeated use phrases, idiot, doofus, doof, Note, care, consideration."

"Well, I suppose, I can't blame you for trying your best." She thought to the Beast. “And no, he's not really stupid, it's, it's just an affectionate thing I call him OK? He's an engineer on a starship, you don't get to be one of those without a good number of qualifications. He knows what he's talking about most of the time if not all of the time. It's just that, you know, Lortaxes when they actually fall in love, can be a bit single-minded at times, more so if it involves sex, or getting sex, and he's not much of an exception." She thought sighing. “When we're at home he's just a big green plushie with eyes only for me. Understand?"

“Noted, Subject Mathiz." The Beast said. “Subject Mathiz, Ready proceed?"

Mathiz sighed and wiggled her hips as much as she could against the bonds.

“As I will ever be I guess." She thought to it.

The Beast lowered its created phallus, as Mathiz tried to slow her breathing in anticipation of what was coming. She closed her eye's and the Beast moved its created cock in line with her pussy which was still soaking from their last interaction. Slowly it pushed upwards, and Mathiz felt its tip against her moist labia. She huffed against her gag as the beast slowly and gently slipped it in. Her lower legs twitched and contracted as she could feel her pussy being slowly being spread by the beast.

It was doing much the same as it had done with the butt plug, slowly inserting it a little more with each gentle thrust. She had to give it to the Beast, the more that she felt of this cock that was entering her the more that she was reminded of her husband. It felt just like his. It had the same shape, the same feel, and it was filling her up in much the same way.

“Hey big guy, you're doing fine so far, but if you want to know, unlike my butt, I'm used to having something like that down there." She thought to it huffing against her gag. “If you want to emulate my husband, then you've got to go for it really passionately!"

“Noted, Subject Mathiz, Sexual ability with male Subject, increasing tempo of thrust." The Beast said, sliding its slick cock out of her pussy. It then thrust it into her harder and deeper at a slightly increased pace, its length almost going fully into her. Mathiz started to bounce in her restrained position to this upping of gear.

“Oh… Oh… Oh yeah! That's a bit more like it! A… A.. A.. bit… bit.. more.. L.. Like... Teawelk!" She thought as the Beast now pounded away on her delicate privates.

She wiggled and squirmed to every heavy thrust into her, the beast not letting up for even a second as it worked away. Her ears folded down and she threw her head back. She huffed heavily into the gag as she was shaken by the thrusting of the bio-bot cock.

“AAAARRRFF! NUUFFF! AAARRRFF! TTEAAFFAAKKK!" She moaned loudly against the cock gag that was in her muzzle. The pounding was relentless, amazing. Suddenly she felt something else, a buzzing sensation coming from the upper part of the Beast's cock. She felt it on each thrust, stimulating her clit. It sent her to new heights of ecstasy.

The lower parts of her legs that were free kicked outwards with excitement, her foot paws spreading to each thrust.

“AARRRFFF! OOOOHHHHFF! AAARRGG!" She loudly moaned again as each thrust of the Beast's cock now slammed against her cervix. Her tender pussy now so thoroughly used started to leak, a mix of her own juices and the beast's lubrication.

Her eyes were closed, and her mental state was now nothing but lust. She wasn't on a crappy floating hulk for a spaceship, she was somewhere else, somewhere nice. She wasn't strapped to some strange sex device, no these were ropes tied around her by Teawelk. He had slammed her against the wall, She was his slave, and she wanted nothing but him and his cock. He was slamming that into her like the good obedient girl that she was. She wanted nothing more, she could almost feel him, her head buried into his fluffy neck fur. She wanted his seed, she wanted his baby in her, and she wanted to be his forever.

She was squirming in the device to the thrusting that she was receiving. Her moans even with the gag were so loud now that they overcame the ambient sounds of the engine room. The Beast kept pace, as her hips rocked to each thrust, and her squirming became uncontrollable. Her tummy started to flex as she was coming to her climax, and her antenna started to glow pink. The Beast sensed that her climax was going to come at any second.

Knowing the moment the Beast thrust its cock in, hitting her cervix as she cummed. Mathiz flexed and writhed to her orgasm. Her tummy flexed deeply from the feeling.

“AAAAAAAFFFFFFFGGGGGG!!!!!" She loudly moaned biting down on the gag a bit.

The beast shot its load, and Mathiz felt it fill her up. It was nice, just like when Teawelk came, but there was something else. When Teawelk came it was a heavy filling, which was expected from a Lortax, but this was something else! The Beast wasn't hitting her with a heavy squirt, it felt like a hosepipe was now in her vagina. It pumped and it pumped and it pumped. Mathiz scrunched up her eyes as she felt her womb starting to balloon from the beast's cum.

“FFFFFUUURRUUKKK!!!" She cried out from the gag as her belly inflated slightly. She felt like she was going to pop from the amount of spooge being pumped into her.

“SSSSTTTOOOPPFFF!!" She cried again against the gag, which she now bit down hard on. If it had been a real cock in her mouth then she would be leaving bite marks now, if not being close to biting it right off!

Suddenly, mercifully the beast then stopped. Mathiz then slumped into her bindings as much as they would allow. She gave heavy exhausted pants. The Beast withdrew its cock that flopped out of her now very tender pussy. It was followed by a heavy leak of Mathiz's fluids and the Beast's thick black cum that splattered in a pool on the metal deck. Her pussy twitched as it continued to leak, much like Mathiz did, her legs kicked a little as she shook in a state of seeming bliss. Her belly was now swollen slightly from the filling that it just had, and her head was spinning.

The Beast took a step back now it had finished. Its cock then quickly reformed back into the black nub that it originally was, and the tube retracted back into its groin area.

She tried to open her eyes as her senses came back. However, the world just spun for a second. She scrunched them shut, shook her head, and let the world come back into focus as the intensity of the sex that she had received started to wane off.

“Oh… Oh my! That… That was a lot… I… I… Feel… Feel... so tired!" She thought to the Beast, slumped in her restraints, her now tender privates cream-pied by the Beast's black goo. She looked down at her now slightly swollen belly, in her dazed and exhausted state, she could swear that her tits were now starting to grow. She raised her head, or at least tried to, but it slumped to one side.

The Beast reached out with one of its upper arms placing it against the fur of her cheek and gently stroked it as she panted.

“Yeah, That's.. That's something that Teawelk would do after he would have screwed me that hard, big… Big doof." She thought, knowing that the Beast was listening. “We're not… Not… Done yet are we?" She asked it.

“Inquiry, Subject Mathiz, Negative, final procedure." The Beast said back.

“Yeah, I… I had that feeling." She Thought back. “I… I hope That… That there's no round four, You… You got… me, in round three." She continued to think as she panted away softly closing her eyes as the Beast petted her cheek fur.

“Inquiry, Subject Mathiz, need for sexual interaction, negative." The beast said.

“Oh thank… Thank goodness!" She thought.

“Final attachment to NPFCS, then encasement, procedure then complete." The Beast went on.

“Yeah sure, Ok Big guy, whatever…" She thought on, The fucking the Beast had given her had now knocked any final sense of protest out of her. She no longer cared, it would be over soon and she would be in that dream it had talked of. A shared dream, or something like that, she didn't know or care. She had been fucked senseless, the supply of air was running out and her only hope of survival was this. She was now finally accepting her fate.

The Beast pulled something off the side of the device that she was restrained in. It was long and wedge-shaped and fairly flat. It was biomechanical and had a pair of lines on one side with a large nub at the top end near the point.

The Beast placed this against Mathiz dripping privates. Slowly it morphed around them to form at one with her neither regions. It was able to stick to them somehow. Then it started to morph towards the device, it also sealed in the plug in her tail hole. It veered off in a Y shape past her tail and connected with the device.

Mathiz looked over and saw the two tubes snake out of the device she was restrained to at her sides. They had small bulbs at the end, much like that at the end of the beast's tail. She knew what they were for, and she didn't like it. However, she didn't protest either. She didn't have the energy to do so any more. The bulbs lined up with her exposed nipples, opening like flowers in the same way that the beast's tail had done. She wiggled slightly, but the tubes kept track of her now pert and erect nipples, and they stuck on quickly like a pair of snakes biting towards their prey. She winced as they were cold, and immediately they started to suck as soon as they were attached.

With the things to milk her nipples now in place, the Beast then pulled out a tube that was to one side of her. It extended outwards and it gripped her muzzle. It then connected this tube to the hole in the front of her gag. It pulled and pushed the tube for a second. Satisfied that the connection was good it let go.

“Any.. Anything else?" She thought to the Beast as she panted.

“Input, Subject Mathiz, Cap for psionic connection to dream state." The Beast said as it reached for another thing on the device nearer to her head. It pulled it off, it too was triangle-shaped and biomechanical. She noticed the two large bubble-like bits on the top of it.

The beast lifted it in one of its long hands, and it grabbed her muzzle again to keep her head steady. It gently placed the small biomechanical triangle on her head, and much like the one the Beast had put over her private parts it morphed into the shape of her head. It went up to and around her leathery webbed ears and around her antenna. Then two tiny tubes came from this cap, much like smaller ones that were like the beast's tail, or the ones that were now attached to her nipples.

Mathiz then felt them as they snaked down the side of her head, into her ears, and then into her ear canals. She shuddered and tried to shake her head as they wormed their way in, though the Beast holding of her muzzle prevented much protest. She then felt a very uncomfortable sensation as they expanded slightly near her eardrums. Satisfied that they were in place the creature let go of her muzzle.

She wiggled her head in discomfort for a second, but that discomfort slowly eased strangely, and she looked back at the Beast now feeling very defeated. It leaned towards her, and she could only look back with her blue eyes with the expression of someone who knew perhaps that they were going to die. It was fear, hopelessness, and strange acceptance of her situation.

“Subject Mathiz, all will be OK, you are safe now, time to oxygen depletion below life maintenance, 26 minutes." It said to her.

“Made it with plenty of time then." She thought to it, “Though, I think it's not circulating so well, this room smells of sex." She thought, trying to crack a joke.

It stroked her face again before it took its long hand away. With one of its fingers, it gently touched the tip of her nose.

“Boop!" The beast said, and Mathiz's tired eyes lit up.

“Hey! That's a Teawelk thing!" She thought to it.

“Subject Mathiz, Unit, able to see memories of Subject Mathiz, Subject Teawelk. Subject, Teawelk observed doing this to amuse you, make you feel better, emotional state, low." The Beast said.

Mathiz against the gag smiled a bit.

“Yeah, it's typical of the doofus." She thought. “Please tell me that I will see him again, in a better state than this?"

“Inquiry, Subject Mathiz, correct, Will see Subject Teawelk soon." Mathiz felt a tear in her eye as the Beast said that, it stepped back. The Beast put its lower arms together, and one of its others out in a gesture that suggested that it was about to snap its fingers. “Information, Subject Mathiz, know, this unit found Subject Mathiz, interesting, unusual, learnt much information new, wished situation better." It continued.

Slightly taken aback by this response Mathiz tilted her head a little.

“About, life, love, hopes, dreams? I don't know." Mathiz thought back.

“Subject Mathiz, correct, knowledge, about relationships between lifeforms, concept, love, Subject Mathiz, Subject Teawelk." The Beast said.

“Well then, good for you, I wish it was for me... Now can you do whatever it is you're gonna do?" She thought to it.

“Subject Mathiz, request granted, sleep well now!" The Beast said as it snapped its fingers.

Suddenly Mathiz's vision went white, and she found herself floating in the void. A void of whiteness, No up, no down, no below, she was floating there naked and alone. She was no longer restrained, she could move her arms and she quickly looked at her hands again. She moved her jaw, there was no gag in her muzzle. Her legs were free, and she could move them again. She gave them a wiggle and placed them down on the ground that she couldn't see. She stood there for a second and protectively folded her arms around her exposed breasts. She felt that her tail was free again as well. So she curled it around her front to give herself some slight dignity. Where was she?

Was this death, had the Beast killed her? Did her spirit move on to the other side? It did feel peaceful, but somehow cold.

“Mathiz! Hey Mathiz!"

She heard it! A voice, calling her name! It was faint, but she could tell the direction. Slowly she started to walk in the direction that it was coming from.

“Mathiz! Come on Mathiz!"

It was very familiar. She recognised it, or at least she thought that she could.

“Come on Mathiz! I've got coffee!"

She knew who it was! She knew that voice! Her hands went away from her breasts, her tail unfurled around from her front. She broke out in a full sprint in the direction of the voice.

“Come on sleepy head! Wake up! You've already slept through the alarm!"

“I'm coming Teawelk! Hold up!" She shouted as she kept running in the voice's direction.

Then everything went white again.

---

Mathiz blinked as she slowly opened her sleepy eyes. Her arms stretched along the bed sheets as she heard the swishing of the bedroom fan. She gently pushed herself up, off the bed and yawned loudly. She smelt the good blue mountain coffee from Terra. That alone was bringing her to.

“Did you sleep well?" Came a voice from a big green and yellow blob in front of her.

“No, Like shit hun." She said back as she squinted, letting her eyes refocus on the big Lortaxian with a towel around his waist. He was carrying a tray with two mugs of coffee on it.

“Tell me about it, you were thrashing around in the sheets again last night," Teawelk said as Mathiz sat up and slid over to sit at the side of the bed.

“How many times did I kick you?" She asked Teawelk.

“Too many, and I think that I'm feeling them all," Teawelk said lowering the tray in front of her so she could take her mug of coffee. She took her coffee mug and held the side of her face scrunching her eyes

“Shit I'm sorry hun!" She said as Teawelk put the tray on the side dresser to their bed and sat beside her.

“You know there's no need to be, I know that you're nervous at the moment with the treatment and all," Teawelk said taking his coffee in one hand and then sliding the other around Mathiz's back.

“Yeah I know, I just feel bad for kicking you so much." She said swinging her long tail around her husband. “But yeah, it's the treatment, what they are going to do in that procedure and all, it…" She went on as Teawelk pulled her in close to him, and he sighed.

“Yeah, I can't quite imagine it either, nanobot fertility treatment, if it were on my end I would do it, I would rather do it. But…" He said stroking her side.

“Only works on the female end," Mathiz said taking a sip from her coffee. “The thought of some doctor playing with my bits, putting stuff in them, it... I'm just so uncomfortable with it." Teawelk looked down at her.

“You almost fainted when they showed you the chair and the insertion device," Teawelk said, and Mathiz shuddered.

“Don't remind me, I almost had a heart attack when they mentioned how much of it would have to go into my, well, parts for it to work as well." She said looking back at him.

“I almost had a heart attack as well when I saw the bill for it all," Teawelk said taking a sip of his coffee, and Mathiz looked down.

“You know that I still want to go through with it?" Mathiz said.

“I know," Teawelk said. “I know you want kids, I'm looking forward to being a dad as well, but you know it's our only way of being able to do that."

“I'm still wondering what a hybrid between our species would look like. A Lortax with a long tail?" She said smiling back at him.

“A P'Twilk with horns?" Teawelk said taking another sip. Before he put his coffee down on the side. Mathiz giggled, as he looked back at her.

“Yeah, silly I know!" Mathiz said.

“Well, it is silly, the Doctor did say that any child born between us with this treatment would be the species of the mother, in other words, a cute little P'Twilk. All we have to wonder about is if we are going to have a boy or a girl," Teawelk said.

“I would love to have a girl," Mathiz said smiling.

“You sound like your mother," Teawelk said. “Next you're going to be the one giving her a lecture about not taking up a science job."

“Shut up! You idiot! She can be whatever she wants to be!" Mathiz said giving Teawelk a push.

“Oh, she can be an engineer like her dad! What will you say when she comes home, her fine fur covered in muck and oil?" Teawelk said reacting to the push, his towel around his waist slipping.

“Oh first I will blame her idiot father for getting her into that profession, and then I will tell them to clean up." She said pushing him again. She looked down and saw Teawelk's shifted towel and his large cock that was slightly erect. She sighed and looked down.

“You know what they said," Mathiz said and Teawelk looked down.

“No sex for forty-eight hours before the procedure." He said sighing, as Mathiz snuggled up to him.

“I'm sorry, hun." Mathiz said, “But those are doctors' orders."

“I know, I just feel a little frustrated by that," Teawelk said closing his eyes. Mathiz put her coffee cup in her other hand, and she reached down for his half-erect cock. She put her hand around it and started to stroke it. His eyes lit up, and he looked back at his smiling wife.

“But the Doctor didn't say anything about jerking my big doofus off!" Mathiz said. “Besides I want to make sure you're ready to do all that baby-making soon." she went on stroking his now-hardening cock as she took her final swig of coffee.

“Oh don't worry about that!" He said as she passed her now empty coffee mug to him. He took it off her and placed it on the tray with his. She slipped off the bed and onto her knees, she slunk around to her husband and looked up at him.

“He also said nothing about letting you feel my muzzle either." She said parting the towel around her husband's waist, then placing her hands on his green legs. Teawelk leaned back and parted his legs giving her full access to his now erect cock and yellow-furred balls.

“Oh yeah! He said nothing about that." Teawelk said reaching down to stroke her long leathery webbed ears. He shifted a little as Mathiz licked the length of his cock.

“What was that doctor's name again?" Mathiz said looking back up at her husband as she stroked his member.

“Dr, Xepep? Or something? Big silvery Lizard dude, they all have weird names." Teawelk said as he looked down at her as she licked his cock again and started to play with his yellow balls. He stroked her ear again as she worked herself over his manhood.

“Yeah, he talked a bit like a robot too, if I remember?" Mathiz said pushing up on Teawelks legs so that she could start working her husband's cock with her muzzle. She gave it a few soft and gentle strokes and then looked up at him softly as she slid its tip into her muzzle.

“Oh yeah I remember, poor guy's grasp on common wasn't the best," Teawelk said giving a gentle gasp as he felt Mathiz's soft tongue against the tip of his cock. “Patient Mathiz, sex, not have for hours 48," Teawelk said as Mathiz slowly slid his cock into her muzzle. However, something happened when she heard those words.

Her eyes went wide, and everything went white. She could feel something in her mouth but it wasn't Teawelk's cock. Whatever it was was holding her muzzle shut. She tried to move, but she was restrained by something. It was a type of film binding her around her torso and arms. She was locked down, her legs restrained in some kind of device. A tube was running to this gag, and there were two more tubes attached to her nipples. Something else was on her privates and she could feel something in her tailhole. She squirmed and thrashed, against these restraints but it was hopeless. She was in a bubble, a machine of sorts. Her heart raced as she saw something big and silvery walk in her direction.

She closed her eyes, and she wanted to scream, but the gag wouldn't let her.

Everything then went white again.

“Mathiz?" A voice said to her and she opened them again, and she saw her husband's green dragon-like face looking down at her.

“Mathiz, are you OK?" Teawelk said as he cradled her head.

“Yeah… Yeah, I'm fine…. What happened? Why am I on the floor?" She asked a little groggily rubbing the side of her face.

“You had some kind of fit." Teawelk said, “Your eyes went all white as did your antenna, and then you bolted backwards and locked up shaking on the floor like a malfunctioning droid."

“Did I?" Mathiz asked as she slowly picked herself up and moved into a sitting position as Teawelk knelt beside her.

“Yeah, you did, Mathiz?" Teawelk said with some concern. “Is there something wrong? Something you're not telling me?"

“Yeah… I mean I don't think it's any…" Mathiz said looking at her husband.

“Anything to worry about?" Teawelk said. “Hunnie, when you're just about to suck me off and then you go all hard reset all over the floor, I think that's something to worry about!" Mathiz looked down at the floor.

“It's a P'Twilk thing, OK, I think… I…. I… I Don't know…. When we get stressed by something, sometimes our minds go into a lock-up state, we see things that are manifestations of our fear." She said looking away from him with a slight feeling of shame. “I mean it's rare, it's never happened to me before, but… but…" She went on. Teawelk sighed and helped to lift her off the floor.

“Like bad dreams?" Teawelk said, “Ones with big monsters? Things running around the last ship we worked on?"

“Yeah, like that," Mathiz said. “But It's never gotten to the lock-up stage before. I..."

Before she could say anything Teawelk wrapped her in his arms and pressed her against his chest.

“It's the procedure, it's stressing you out, I can tell, it's not just the dreams, that lock-up, I've seen you biting at your claws, acting fidgety. I've been vacuuming up so much purple fluff recently that I'm worried you're going bald." Teawelk said, “Listen, there's still another day before we go to that clinic. I know it's going to be rough, I know that you don't like what they are going to do, don't focus on that." He went on as he hugged her tight and stroked her face.

“Focus on the after, the next few years, being a mother, our kid, think of all the things that we will be able to do as a family, bedtimes, reading them stories, trips to the beach, think about taking her to school, attending her graduation," Teawelk said as she hugged him back and started to purr.

“You said 'her'" Mathiz said, “You want a girl as well!"

“Of course." He said as he kissed her forehead. “There your mind is already off of it."

“Off, what?" Mathiz said.

“My point exactly," Teawelk said, shuffling his foot. “Come on let's go and take a shower, and have some breakfast."

“Just remember, only a shower! No bathroom hanky panky!" Mathiz said looking back at him softly.

“I promise!" Teawelk said smiling. “Now come on let's get cleaned up. We've got a full day ahead of us, Aldin and Jenna did say that they wanted to meet up for lunch."

“Oh yeah, they were thinking of having the…" Mathiz said as she started to walk with Teawelk in her arms to the bathroom."

“What did I say?" Teawelk said.

“I was gonna say about the hot tub you idiot!" Mathiz said slapping his bum as they walked through the door to the bathroom.

“Oh, that!" Teawelk said as the pair went through the door to the en-suite. Teawelk stopped momentarily and let Mathiz out of his arms as she went for the shower. He quickly looked back and saw the small bit of tissue that he had kicked to the side, and that it hadn't quite gone under the bed. It had a small amount of strange black fluid on it, he had cleared off Mathiz when she had her fit.

“You coming, doofus? The water is warm, along with your hunnie!" Mathiz said as she turned on the shower.

“I'm right with you!" He said turning around and heading for the shower with his wife.
